Femi-Trim is a weight loss supplement by manufacturer BioMed Health that is geared toward women users. Unlike most diet drugs of a similar nature, it is not only challenging to find information about this pill, but also challenging to find for sale, even using a search engine. This does not inspire confidence in the pills. That being said, the manufacturer of the drug does have an official website that provides some basic information about the drug including the claims about what it will do and its ingredients. This information is quite minimal and unless an extensive search is performed, it is very difficult to locate on the web.

Femi-Trim has been designed with women over the age of thirty in mind. According to the official Femi-Trim website, the supplement works by assisting in burning fat, decreasing cravings, suppressing the appetite, and supporting the thyroid and metabolism of women. None of the information about the drug describes how this is accomplished, nor are any studies supporting these claims mentioned.

The recommended dosage for this supplement, according to its packaging, is to take 2 caplets every morning and two caplets every afternoon. The consumption of the caplets should be accompanied by a full glass of water.

Though in theory, the water is necessary not only to help to safely swallow the caplets, but it is also necessary to help the glucomannan to expand into the gel-like substance in the stomach that is intended to help trick the body into thinking that it feels full and for a longer period of time. That being said, a large concentration of glucomannan would be required within a pill in order to allow it to function properly. Although there is no mention of the quantities of the ingredients in the information provided of the drug, the glucomannan is listed so far down in a large number of ingredients that it is very unlikely that enough has been provided for efficacy.

A similar thing can be said about green tea extract, which can indeed be helpful in weight loss if used in the right high dosage, which is unlikely due to the number of ingredients in this formula and its placement on the list among the ingredients.
